FAWM: "I see your heart on a bottom of my cup"

I see your heart on a bottom of my cup

Liner Notes

Thank you for the prompt.

Saw the prompt and thought of my recent coffee cup which to my surprise had a shape of a heart still there while I finished my coffee. Normally I see a little bit of coffee left, not the heart. So here are my lyrics. Please let me know if you hear music/ vocals. Thank you for listening and commenting. After reading the comments, I thought I should follow the advice and have a go at music and "vocals" so posting my "demo". Please don't let it put you off the idea of adding music/vocals if you hear it while reading my lyrics. If you like my music and you are happy to sing using my music, I can send you the piano track. The link to piano track is https://nadiacripps.bandcamp.com/track/i-see-your-heart-on-a-bottom-of-my-cup

Lyrics

I see your heart On a bottom of my cup We are so far apart It just doesn't add up

Most people are away Busy with something of their own I'm alone, in a dark café My latte is cold as a stone

I long for you in such despair I call you each time in my mind Let most people ignore it and not care But please don't live our love behind

Most people come and go You are the one I miss the most Maybe one day you'll know We are truly close

But for now I see your heart On a bottom of my cup We are so far apart It just doesn't add up

Echoes of the classic torch song. Love the way the melody and lyrics sit like a conversation over the piano.

I love the way the singing and piano add so much to the ideas in the lyrics. Fantastic!

@musicsongwriter 1d

Thank you so much. So kind!

Great song! The effect of your beautiful accent and the lyrics evoke Marlene Dietrich and a smoky 1940's dive bar in Europe from old movies. Great to hear you as well!

@musicsongwriter 1d

Ah, thank you so much. I'm honoured to see such a great compliment.

@kkd 1d

The piano is wonderful and lends such wistfulness to the longing in the lyrics

@musicsongwriter 1d

Thank you very much.

@musicsongwriter 1d

@atornberg thank you, you probably wish you haven't suggested it, because here goes: vocals are added lol

@chill4matt 1d

Nice reflection of a relationship. It would be good to add vocals to this one!

@musicsongwriter 1d

Thank you Matt, I've added some kind of vocals lol.

@richardmasters 1d

It's a nice idea, marrying the external impression of a caffeineated heart with your own

@musicsongwriter 1d

Thank you, Richard.

@atornberg 1d

Hey! Never read lyrics from you before! Nice job! I think you should put it to music yourself and narrate or sing the lyrics! I also love the heart in the bottom of the cup metaphor. Great job!

@musicsongwriter 1d

Thank you Aaron. I write lyrics from time to time. You'll find some of them in my lyrics only tags. I might have a go if there are no takers oe justtry anyway, whateverhappens :)
